The Best Gay Friendly Hotels in Lisbon

Upon Angels is a chic, contemporary retreat in Lisbon that leans into sensual sophistication with a grown-up, design-forward vibe.

While not a gay-exclusive property, this adults-only hotel is proudly welcoming to LGBTQ+ guests, and its stylish, intimate ambiance makes it a favorite for couples (and solo travelers) seeking a mix of relaxation and nightlife access.

The name might be heavenly, but the hotel definitely leans toward the indulgent side — think mood lighting, plush rooms with bold decor, and a interior patio with pool that's the perfect place for sipping cocktails at sunset.

The hotel would also act as the perfect base for Europride 2025, so be sure to book now to secure your stay.
